When the receiving state from Fig. 1, Fig. 2 (a) and air bag 31 shown in Figure 3, when the vehicle body of automobile was subjected to impacts such as side impact or roll etc., control unit was judged based on the signal of sensor etc. and is started 33 pairs of air bag 31 supply gas of charging blower.So the expansion of 52 open upper side launches towards the incorporating section in these air bag 31 beginnings, and the door leaf portion 73 of pushing cover body 22.And then, as shown in Figure 9, under the pressure effect that this is pushed, fracture reservations 99 fractures of inner 62 supporting slice portion 87, part or all of the portion of division simultaneously 72, short leg 72b fracture at least.And then when air bag 31 further expansions launched, the door leaf portion 73 of being pushed by this air bag 31 was that fulcrum rotates to the inboard, compartment with the long leg 72a of outside 61 and the hinge 86 of inside 62, uses path thereby the air bag of formation air bag 31 bloats.In addition, externally the long leg 72a of 61 division portion 72 does not rupture but under the situation of bonded assembly state, this long leg 72a becomes fulcrum, and hinge 86 is out of shape in the mode that stretches, and door leaf portion 73 rotates smoothly.And, when long leg 72a ruptures,, hinge 86 becomes fulcrum on one side Yi Bian being out of shape in the mode that stretches, and door leaf portion 73 rotates smoothly.And then, shown in Fig. 2 (b), from the outstanding air bag 31 of this aspis door leaf portion 73 is rotated on one side, Yi Bian via between this door leaf portion 73 and the vehicle window 15 along vehicle window 15 to the upside expansion of expanding smoothly, limit the passenger who moves to the side, its head etc. is protected.
Like this, according to present embodiment, the so-called car door air bag that expands upward and launch for the upper surface that makes the air bag 31 that is accommodated in the car door portion 1 from car door portion 1, because stacked outside 61 and inner 62 constitute cover body 22, and in inner 62 supporting slice portion 87, be provided with fracture reservations 99, therefore can reduce to be formed at cutting part that becomes joint or fracture reservations on outside 61 the outside matrix 76, thereby can guarantee appearance design face significantly, improve outward appearance, simultaneously, can make cover body 22 turn to the edge piece portion 66 in the compartment outside, use path, make air bag 31 expansion of expanding smoothly thereby can form bloating of air bag 31 significantly.And then, because when air bag 31 expands expansion, as long as be located at the fracture reservations 99 in inner 62 the supporting slice portion 87 and be located at the 72b of the short leg at least fracture of the division portion 72 on outside 61, therefore door leaf portion 73 is rotated smoothly, make air bag 31 expansion of expanding smoothly.
Further, inboard, compartment for cover body 22, with fastening support 95 fastenings of the first liner portion 81 in the cover middle part of fixing body 34 fastening portion 49, and with fastening support 103 fastenings of the second liner portion 82 in the cover bottom of fixing body 34 fastening portion 48, fix with this, simultaneously, the outside, compartment for cover body 22, be fixed in the second mounting support portion 44 of fixing body 34 by second mounting part 96 of connecting element 97 supporting slice portion 87, therefore, can improve the rigidity of cover body 22 and can not installing securely with rocking.Therefore, even in switching car door portion 1 or passenger cover body 22 is executed under the power-assisted situation, cover body 22 can not be out of shape yet, and can keep good surface appearance like this.
And then, though supporting slice portion 87 is in 99 fractures of fracture reservations when air bag 31 expands expansion, but because these fracture reservations 99 are along the upper end formation of supporting slice portion 87, therefore when air bag 31 expands expansion, can dwindle the supporting slice portion 87 that rotates with top board 64, thus the interference between the air bag 31 of the supporting slice portion 87 that can suppress top board 64 sides and the expansion of expanding.
And, because this airbag apparatus 21 constitutes air bag module with following state: charging blower 33 and air bag 31 are installed on the fixing body 34, the cover body 22 that will constitute a door trim plate part simultaneously is installed on the fixing body 34, therefore the operation that can improve keeping, conveyance by the modularization of airbag apparatus 21 and be assembled into the vehicle body operation.
And, because therefore the door leaf portion 73 of cover body 22 guides air bag 31 to the outside, compartment, thereby air bag 31 is launched smoothly along the glass for vehicle window 14 of vehicle window 15 to the inboard rotation in compartment.
And,, therefore can utilize the edge part of the vehicle window 15 of the side surface part that becomes 66 pairs of formations car door portion of free-ended edge piece portion 1 to be covered, thereby can improve outward appearance because edge piece portion 66 is located at from supporting slice portion 87 on the position of leaving outside the compartment.And then, by fracture reservations 99 fractures that make supporting slice portion 87, thereby edge piece portion 66 is rotated with the door leaf portion 73 of top board 64, form bloating of air bag 31 significantly and use path, air bag 31 is launched smoothly.
Like this, by being set, edge piece portion 66 can realize simultaneously easily that the raising of outward appearance and the suitable slip expander of air bag 31 launch.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the short leg 72b of division portion 72 and long leg 72a are formed the groove that outside 61 outside matrix 76 is arranged with linearlyly, but be not limited to this shape.For example, in the above-described embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, cover body 22 has the edge piece portion 66 that is involved in shape that is, part in this edge piece portion 66, shown in arrow S, making the power of outside 61 fracture of cover body 22 become along the power of the surface direction of edge piece portion 66 is the power of shear direction.The situation that the division portion 72 of therefore, consideration hypothesis these edge piece portion 66 parts when the length dimension of the division portion 72 of the part of this edge piece portion 66 of increase is not easy to rupture smoothly.Therefore, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, part in edge piece portion 66, by up to till the position of outward appearance, forming the notch 111 that begins the short leg 72b of division portion 72 is carried out otch from edge part, the division portion 72 of the part of edge piece portion 66 is ruptured smoothly.In addition,,, also externally form after the notch 111 on the matrix 76,, thereby can improve outward appearance with skin covering of the surface 77 these notchs 111 of covering of polyurethane system except being formed up to without detriment to the position of outward appearance for this notch 111.Further, for this notch 111, as shown in figure 11,, can make the cover body 22 and the air bag 31 that the launches butt smoothly that expands by the bight 111a at tip is formed the curved surface shape.
And in the above-described embodiment, it is flat tabular that supporting slice portion 87 is, and fracture reservations 99 form along the linearity groove of the length direction of this supporting slice portion 87, but are not limited to this structure.For example, usually charging blower 33 is arranged on the front side or the rear side of air bag 31, and from the front of length direction or rear end side airbag 31, imports gas via pipe 33a from charging blower 33.Therefore, the part that the partial sum that promptly is imported near gas in charging blower 33 sides is imported into away from gas, under the larger-size situation of the length direction of cover body 22, there are the tendency of fracture promptly in time that gas is imported into and applied pressure difference near charging blower 33 sides.Therefore, for example as shown in figure 12, be slit portion 121 by on fracture reservations 99, forming through hole with proper spacing, the reservations that will rupture 99 are divided into a plurality of, can reduce the disruption characteristic of reservations 99 that ruptures thus, can both easily rupture smoothly thereby spread all over total length.That is, even, fracture reservations 99 are ruptured smoothly away from charging blower 33 and be provided with the part of edge piece portion 66.And, for this slit portion 121, except forming with certain interval, near charging blower 33 1 sides, make the short slit portion 121 of the i.e. formation of length of fracture reservations 99, make fracture reservations 99 shorten i.e. formation than long slit portion 121, thus along with leaving charging blower 33, can make the roughly fracture simultaneously alongst of fracture reservations 99, air bag 31 is alongst launched equably.And, utilize this slit portion 121 to cut apart fracture reservations 99, and do not cut apart supporting slice portion 87, can improve the rigidity of supporting slice portion 87 thus, can improve and use connecting element 97 second mounting part 96 of supporting slice portion 87 to be installed in the operation of the operation on other the parts.
In addition, through hole is that the shape of slit portion 121 is not limited to the shape of only fracture reservations 99 being carried out otch shown in Figure 12, for example also can form the rectangular-shaped opening 122 that the part of supporting slice portion 87 is carried out otch as shown in Figure 13, perhaps, also can form as shown in Figure 14 supporting slice portion 87 self is divided into a plurality of notch 123.
And, by forming fracture reservations 99 along the midway location of the short transverse of supporting slice portion 87, the position of promptly leaving from the upper end of supporting slice portion 87, thereby when air bag 31 expands expansion, can utilize 87 pairs of air bag 31 channeling conducts of expanding and launching of supporting slice portion of rotating with top board 64, can suppress the interference between the parts beyond the supporting slice portion 87 of air bag 31 and cover body 22, simultaneously air bag 31 be guided to the outside, compartment.Further, the height and position of these fracture reservations 99 forms corresponding with the height and position of the bottom of outside 61 edge piece portion 66, thereby can suppress other parts of air bag 31 and cover body 22, the particularly interference between the edge piece portion 66 below being darted at.
And, cover the part of car door portion 1 although understand cover body 22, but be not limited to this structure, also can cover the single-piece door trim plate of car door portion 1 with forming as one.
And the shape of charging blower and air bag and structure are not limited to above-mentioned shape and structure, can use the charging blower and the air bag of various structures.
